The video describes the role of Disaster Service Workers and Essential Workers in California's K-12 schools. It explains that all public school employees are considered essential during disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, and pandemics. They may need to help students by providing first aid, evacuating campuses, or preparing meals. The text emphasizes being prepared with an emergency plan and supplies. It also suggests using tools like the MyShake app for earthquake alerts and downloading the Cal OES Family Readiness Guide to stay informed about emergencies.
